ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to sports beds and more specifically to ornamental bed designs depicting sports. The present invention consists of various sport shaped bed designs consisting of a frame, mattress, motion sensors, rechargeable battery cell and dimmer night light. The designs mimic sports activities such as football, baseball, soccer, basketball, and other sports shapes. The bed designs of the present invention consist of storage drawers located in various positions according to design. The bed designs of the present invention are focused toward toddler and youth use. Each bed unit contains battery operated motion sensors which trigger a night dimmer light. When the sensor indicates a child has lain down in the bed, the dimmer light responds to the signal and the light goes on. Within a short period of time, the light slowly dims until it is fully out. If the child should sit up, the sensor will react and the light will go on. The mattress of the present invention fits down inside the frame and the headboard. The headboard extends up a wall at an angle to give the appearance of the mattress within the sport design. The bed and mattress may come in various sizes. The bed designs of the present invention are made of a durable plastic and are easy to clean. They are fire resistant and child safe.

This invention concerns a new toy bed which is made to have a shape mimicking that of a practical object, such as a locomotive, a car, a ship, a tank, etc., to arouse a child's curiosity. For example, when it has a shape of a locomotive, it consists of three main parts, a frame, a mattress and a cover. The frame is assembled with tubes and joints, having a shape mimicking that locomotive, and the mattress is placed in the frame and surrounded by the framework, so that the frame can steadily be stabilized on the ground. The cover, made of a kind of soft material and having the same shape as the frame, is finally placed around the frame to complete this bed.

A wrestling bed provides a defined and restricted area for children's vigorous activities, thus serving to protect other articles from accidental damage due to such vigorous play. The wrestling bed is solidly constructed in order to resist damage from active play, which might damage standard bed frames. The wrestling bed includes a platform sized to provide a central area fitting a mattress of standard configuration and includes peripheral tread pads, corner posts and padding, peripheral ropes, and steps at one side of the platform. The wrestling bed has the general appearance of a wrestling or boxing ring, thereby lending some realism to children's wrestling or play therein, while providing copious padding and protection for children playing therein. The mattress, although substantially softer and more resilient than a real wrestling ring surface, provides greater protection and further doubles as a standard bedding mattress. A protective cover may be tucked in around the edges of the mattress for play, or the wrestling bed may be made up in the manner of a standard bed for sleep. The protective cover may be left in place beneath the standard bedding in order to protect the mattress in the event of incontinence.
